English author Jane Austen may have died over 190 years ago, but interests in her novels and life has never been stronger.

Featured here are articles on Austen prequels, sequels, spinoffs and other Austen-esqu faire. It all started in 1914 when Sybil G. Brinton wrote Old Friends and New Fancies: An Imaginary Sequel to the Novels of Jane Austen. Now there are hundreds to choose from! Enjoy.

Marilyn Brant recently blogged about a party she’d attended celebrating Jane Austen 234th birthday. She said:
One of the big highlights of the event was getting to hear “The Bingley Sisters” (aka, Molly Philosophos and Liz Philosophos Cooper …) advise their brother Charles (that would be the famed, Mr. Bingley of Pride & Prejudice) [...]

I ran across this bit whilst reading Northanger Abbey with my budding Janeite:"Although our productions have afforded more extensive and unaffected pleasure than those of any other literary corporation in the world, no species of composition has been so much decried. From pride, ignorance, or fashion, our foes are almost as many as our readers. And while the abilities of the nine-hundredth abridger of the History of England, or of the man who...

Jane Austen has become the most revered and probably the most popular of the great English novelists. Not even the vulgarisation of her novels by those who have adapted them for television has impaired the esteem in which she is held. She is not only deemed amusing, which she is, but a wonderfully fair and judicious moralist. Walter Scott praised her ‘exquisite touch, which renders ordinary commonplace things and characters interesting, from...

Jane Austen did not invent Colin Firth.Shocking, but true.I've been trying to work out for years the real relationship between Austen and romance novels of the early twenty-first century. She was not, sigh, "the first writer of Regency romances." She wrote contemporary novels.She wrote about marriage for love in a society where everything had its price, but the majority of established married couples in her books are mismatched. Her characters...

Reviewer Leigh Kimmel talks about why MANSFIELD PARK AND MUMMIES: Monster Mayhem, Matrimony, Ancient Curses, True Love, and Other Dire Delights works. I was thinking about humor and how it works for me. The zombie mashup kept the characterizations intact because so much of the text was left alone, with sentences of zombie craziness inserted, after which the story reverts right back to Austen's early nineteenth century wit and situation. One...

Sir John Mills, Ipswich: The script for the Eastern Angles Christmas show by recent Writers' Guild award-winner Brendan Murray doesn't miss a trick. Mansfield Park and Ride is full of Austen/East Anglia allusions and the first night audience and I loved every minute.
